Front fender issue

Ok so I got my 94 flstn home today and I started removing the tins for repaint. I noticed the front fender was off center. The trim bolts on one side was rubbing against the tire. Any ideas? Bent fork or bent fender? Help!

takes a pretty good shot to bend a fork. maybe twist in the tree? wheel spacers on wrong sides? unlikely as brake would be binding like a ****. has it been tied down hard on a trailer lately?...steve

Some bikes are made with off center fenders. Not sure if your bike is one though.
Is it a stock size tire? Or a wider/taller one?

Tires r stock. I was able to bend the fender a bit to straighten it up a bit. Not sure what the deal is

Is it a stock wheel the tire is on? I remember reading where some had to have different spacers with a different wheel because the hub was different,(longer on one side) than their stock hub.
